[Imc] Fwd: Champaign Labor Day Parade

[Peter Miller]

Unfortunately, I'll be out of town for this.  It would be really nice if 
someone could take the IMC camera and get some pictures for the 
website.  (Don't forget to buy batteries!  (AA)).

Thanks,
Peter

>      Hi, all.  Here, courtesy of Judy Stoll,  is information on the 
> upcoming Labor Day Parade.  I ask you for two things.  First, please do 
> whatever you can to get the word out about this.  If you have contacts 
> with local media (Peter?) it would be a big help if you could get in a 
> plug.  Second, if you will be in town Monday morning, come out to West 
> Side Park.  Put on a some union garb and join us in the parade (it's a 
> short route) or come for the music afterward.  Bring family and friends, 
> and hope for good weather.  It's taken a lot of work on the part of union 
> folks to bring back this Champaign tradition, and it would be too bad if 
> it were anything but a success.
